Background/Present Situation a) Since the implementation of the Guarantee Program in 1993, 120 transactions facilitating the construction of over 28,000 housing units in Florida were guaranteed. In November 1994, the Guarantee Program entered into an agreement with HUD to participate in the Risk-Sharing Program; characterized by a 50/50 sharing of default risk in connection with the mortgage guarantee. As of 12/31/19, one (1) multifamily development remains in the Guarantee Program portfolio. b) Between November 2008 and April 2010, eight (8) multifamily claims were filed on the Guarantee Program portfolio, representing the total (and only) multifamily claims incurred in its 24-year history. The Guarantee Program experienced a strong 87% foreclosure recovery rate, compared to the 64% national average at that time.1 Currently, there are no foreclosures in inventory and no developments in monetary default in the portfolio. B. Corpus and Portfolio Risk Exposure 1. Background/Present Situation a) The global liquidity crisis of 2008 collapsed the market for the variable rate bonds capitalizing the Guarantee Program corpus, ultimately leading staff to restructure the debt, paying off approximately $89 million and refinancing the remaining $156.2 million in variable rate bonds to a 5-year term loan with Citibank, closing on December 31, 2009. b) At that time, the Guarantee Program’s total risk exposure was $754.5 million. Since then, in keeping with the Board’s mandate to cede risk from the portfolio, total risk exposure has been reduced over 99%, as reflected below: Portfolio Risk Exposure As of 12/31/18 12/31/17 12/31/16 12/31/15 12/31/14 12/31/13 12/31/12 12/31/10 12/31/19 12/31/11 $5.2M $19.9M $20.4 $30.9M $59.4M $158.9M $306.5M $468.5M $578.8M $728.3M c) The continued low interest rate environment has prompted many Developers to refinance their properties, paying-off their guaranteed mortgages and removing them from the Guarantee Program portfolio, representing the primary driver behind the reduction in Total Commitments reflected above. Refinancing activity is reflected in the following chart: 1 Real Capital Analytics, April 2011 January 23, 2020 Florida Housing Finance Corporation 3 GUARANTEE PROGRAM Information Refinancing Activity As of 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 12/31/19 Loans 2 0 1 5 17 22 22 9 12 2 (#): Risk ceded $14.4M n/a $10.2M $27.6M $100M $136.8M $149.4M $84M $117.9M $9.9M ($): d) Contributing to the reduction in Total Commitments was approximately $115 million in partial prepayments (of mortgages) from SAIL ELI proceeds, funded prior to or at the time of closing, helping facilitate refinancing activity. e) Furthermore, Management aggressively reduced the Guarantee Program capitalizing debt, paying off $90.2 million on April 20, 2011, another $15 million on July 29, 2011, and the remaining $51.0 million on December 21, 2012, reducing the Guarantee Fund’s capitalizing debt to zero ($0). f) The Guarantee Fund corpus contains approximately $140 million in capital invested in the Florida Treasury, Special Purpose Investment Account (SPIA), rated “A+f” by Standard & Poor’s as of September 30, 2017.

Background/Present Situation a) Standard & Poor’s: April 2017 A+ / Stable outlook b) Cited strengths: “Strong state financial support…Strong asset quality…Strong asset management policies”[1] c) Fitch: March 2018 A+ / Stable outlook d) Cited strengths: “Low Risk-to-Capital Ratio… Limited State support …Minimal Multifamily Losses”[2] D. Risk-to-Capital Ratio 1. Background/Present Situation a) Authorized Maximum Ratio = 5:1. Peaking in 1999 at 4.95:1, subsequent management efforts resulted in a more conservative downward trend to the vastly improved ratio of .04:1 as of 12/31/19. Capital not needed to support the outstanding Guarantees has been made available to the SAIL program for use in the 2016-2018 and 2019 competitive solicitations. Specifically, $40 million was made available to workforce housing and the remaining $78 million to SAIL. E.

Background/Present Situation a) Florida Housing has 68 developments comprised of 597 buildings with 6,134 units in its portfolio located in the twelve counties declared a major disaster due to Hurricane Michael. b) From the damage assessments, nine developments reported damage extensive enough to require displacement of some or all households. In total, 652 households have been displaced due to direct damage, unhealthy moisture content and/or the discovery of mold in the housing units. An additional 15 properties reported moderate damage, 17 reported limited damage because of the hurricane. Hatton House, a Jackson County development, was able to return all 76 households to their units once power was restored and the elevator operational. c) The status of displaced households typically falls into one of four categories: (1) Those that received FEMA rental assistance despite having to move 30 miles or more to find affordable housing. Many displaced from Bay County had to find housing in Destin, Fort Walton or as far west as Pensacola. FEMA was able to relocate many Jackson County families to Dothan, Alabama; (2) Those that are staying with family or friends in the immediate area to be closer to jobs and schools; (3) Those that were transferred to another property owned by the same landlord; and (4) Those, especially in Bay County, that have permanently relocated due to loss of employment. d) Florida Housing continues to monitor the damaged properties for regular updates on reconstruction, damage mitigation efforts and rehousing of the displaced households. Initially, 40 units were projected to be ready for occupancy by the end of the first quarter with all units projected to be ready by year-end. As of December 15, 2019, 418 (64%) of the 652 previously uninhabitable units have been reoccupied. Those developments with units now ready for occupancy are: (1) Andrews Place Phases I and II (Bay County) 216 units (2) Foxwood (Bay County) 100 units (3) Orchard Pointe (Jackson County) 48 units (4) Panama Commons (Bay County) 50 units (5) Reserve at Northshore (Bay County) 4 units January 23, 2020 Florida Housing Finance Corporation 6 HURRICANE MICHAEL UPDATE Information e) Thirty two developments have completed all work and debris removal.
